What is your experience with a boat towed PI metal detector coil?
How effective is this detection system for locating targets underwater when being towed?
How effective would it be in locating large non-ferrous targets such as aircraft wreckage buried in a sandy bottom up to 10 to 12 feet?
Would like to hear from those who have actually had experience in towing a PI metal detector and understand the issues.
NOTE: Looking for non-ferrous material, so a magnetometer won't work in this situation.
